Abstract:

The potential of using lipase Lipozyme TL IM-mediated esterification of oleic acid with monoglyceride for 1,3-dioleoylglycerol(DO) preparation was explored and the effects of solvent, water activity, temperature, molar ratio of oleic acid to monostearin(MO) and the solvent quantity on the DO yield and 1,3-positional selectivity of the lipase were investigated systematically. Under the optimum conditions(45 ℃, 1.5 g of Lipozyme TL IM, molar ratio of oleic acid to MO is 1.5∶1, 6.0 g chloroform, and water activity is 0.33), a total DO yield of 80% could be achieved with the content of 1,3-DO over 92%. Lipozyme TL IM showed rather good operational stability in the system and there was no obvious reduction in lipase’s activity and selectivity even after being continually used for 5 batches.

Key words: Lipozyme TL IM, Oleic acid, Monoglyceride, 1, 3-DAG, Positional selectivity
